Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, unpeeled)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Shred the zucchini using a box grater. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel, twist, and squeeze to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

        Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil together. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

          Incorporate the Zucchini: Fold the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

            Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until you see no dry flour. Be careful not to overmix. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

              Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using) until mixed throughout the batter.

                Pour into the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                    Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
